Schedule Update

Our cancellation policy follows the Community Use of Facilities policy of Montgomery County Public Schools. Please note that this does not always follow the school closing policy. For example, school may be closed because of snow but the buildings may be open in the evening for community use. We will meet if county facilities are open for public use. There may be exceptions to this policy, if in doubt check this web site, your e-mail, or call patrol leaders for the latest update. Be Prepared . . . Weather conditions for many troop activities can vary greatly from those here at home in Silver Spring. If an activity listing contains a zip code, enter it in the weather search box on the left for an up to date forecast at the activity location. |
BSA has developed an Annual Health and Medical Record form to replace the old Class 1 & 2 and Class 3 Medical forms. In order to participate in Troop events, this form must be resubmitted annually so that it is not more than one year old. After January 1, 2010, the old forms are not accepted.
New Form: BSA Annual Health and Medical Record Form!

Arleeta's Pantry at Woodside UMC provides food for 15 families in the local area. If you have any canned or packaged goods that you can donate, please bring it to any Troop activity and we will be sure it gets to the pantry. A box will be in the Troop room for collections.
NOTE FOR TROOP 209 PARENTS
Your participation in Troop activities is encouraged and welcome. What's even MORE important is to make sure that you take some basic, brief training on WHAT Scouting is all about. Youth Protection Training is a must, and you can do it online! PLEASE speak with Mr. Scanlan, the Committee Chair, or the Scoutmaster to find out how. A trained "Scouter" is better able to participate, to help other Scouts and to add thoughtful ideas to the Troop Committee planning. Also, there's a Scouting site for ALL Parents you should check out: http://www.scoutparents.org/
